The
double breasted suit/Jacket is a unique statement, not known to many but should
be recognized by all.

I
was going through my picture archives and I noticed a lot of young guys are
beginning to embrace this relatively retro style and bringing on modern twists
to it. I am a fan!

A
classic double breasted suit is usually a 6 on 2 button design (6 total buttons
with 2 working buttons).

There is also the 6 on 1 style (6 total buttons with only the last button being active).

Asides
these, other modifications exist.

There
is the 4 on 1 design (one functioning button out of four).

There
is the 4 on 2 design (two functioning buttons out of four).

There
is the 5 on 1 design (one functioning button out of five).

You
can have as many as 8 buttons.

A
peak lapel is usually found on double breasted suits or jackets.

Wearing
this suit in a classic cut and fabric is statement enough, hence, the need to
keep it simple. You would probably have to go minimal with your accessories
when dealing with a double breasted suit or jacket. It’s not the time to wear
your tie bar, lapel pin, pocket square, tie all at once… save one! If you must,
choose your colors wisely.

Tailoring
is key. It just has to fit you right.

Make it modern with color and prints.

I
think this style works well with slim guys because it adds a little bit of bulk
and dimension to the torso.

I also love it on guys with broad chest, especially
when the cut cinches the waist and slightly flares out.

Looking
for a way to add a little different to your wardrobe? Get one in a neutral color for starters.

You
can totally rock it to work. I suggest you make it your ‘I want to look different
today’ option, not your everyday option.

So
who’s ready to join the Double breasted wagon? Yeah, I see you right there…and
you over there!
